About the event

Join Bronco Nation at the world's toughest one-day off-road race!

Event details

UPDATE: BASECAMP IS FULL FOR 2026

For two wild weeks every year, the dry lakebed of Johnson Valley transforms into something unreal for King of the Hammers — a full-blown, off-grid city in the middle of the California desert: Hammertown. Built from trailers, tents, tools, and raw grit, Hammertown is where racers wrench, fans roam, brands launch, and the entire off-road world comes together to celebrate the hardest one-day race on the planet.

In Hammertown, Bronco Nation sets up Bronco Basecamp, where Bronco owners camp, go on trail drives with Bronco Off-Roadeo guides, and watch the Ford Racing teams navigate their Broncos across dirt, rocks, and sand. Register to hang out with the community, attend drives, enjoy meals and campfires, and do special behind-the-scenes activities with Ford.

Hi, I am registered and will be there and camping with BN. Do the included tickets cover me if I want to come before 2/6? I was planning to arrive on 2/5. Also, what about camping for the night of 2/5, do I need a separate purchase for that? TIA.

We will be in Arizona for the month of February, so might make a late decision day trip to come over and see all the fun… Tim, (@TK1215), if you’re around and going on a trail run I may try and hitch a ride, as we will be in our F150 for the trip…

I think we can swing that! Adam is going also so there should be some available seats!

I don’t think it will be an issue. I think you just have to pay for another ticket for them

Many thanks to BN and Ford Performance for a wonderful experience at KOH Bronco Basecamp 26. Laura, Robert and the rest of the crew did a great job as always. Blake and Mike from Off Rodeo led some fun trail rides. It was great meeting up with some friends from previous Basecamps, and making some new friends this year.

Always great to see you, Mike! Thank you so much for coming out; it's our pleasure to be able to host there.
I hope the dust cleanup doesn't take long!

First time I ever had to use a leaf blower as phase 1 of my interior cleanup! Brutal dust
